That blind eye

Stare into the abyss 
A shadow holds you and your throat is dry 
Take a drink and sit down 
Headache 

Banging like the FBI 
On the doorstep near-by 

Hazel and chocolate berries 
Was always a favourite invention of mine 

Weave between the nooks and crannies 
Scrub and brush until your hands start to peel 
Away 

Edging away 
Wearing down through the years 

Your body and mind marks it 
It is in print now and I can read you like a book 

Can't wash it off 
Never wash it off 
It is there now 
It is done now 

The world turns that blind eye 
For what you have done 
Is shared 
Between 
You 
and 
I
